Chapter 6-2 Part 2

This battle is easy in premise, there's certainly no doubt about that. What this battle lacks in challenge it makes up for in time consumption, however. Skilled players might get through this battle in under ten minutes, but it could easily take most gamers twice that long to get through this battle. The first thing to mention here is that you don't want to use your conventional weapons on the enemy. It's a waste of ammunition. Instead, since you have that keycard you found earlier, you can use it on a locked safe-like device on the wall at the back end of the boat that will give you a special weapon. This weapon, when focused (like a sniper rifle) will allow you to lock-on to parts of the enemy and let a satellite laser come down, destroying it. Of course, this is easier said than done, but we want to repeat once more to not shoot at this enemy with your regular weapons. It's a complete waste to do so.

Instead, grab the special weapon and then climb up one of two ladders to a heightened position. This is where you'll want to remain for most of the battle, if not for the entire thing. Then, begin focusing on the glowing circular orbs that appear from the enemy's gigantic tentacles. Aim the weapon and follow the orb in question carefully, allowing the red indicator to circle around the orb. Then, quickly fire the weapon before the enemy moves again, disrupting your trace. This is basically what the entire battle is -- locking on to orbs the enemy puts out and firing the weapon to let a space laser come do the dirty work. You'll be doing this over and over and over again, and while the battle certainly gets more difficult as you go, it doesn't change much in premise.

There are a few things to note before we let you get to it (the video we've included might be helpful in allowing you to see just how to go about this battle... and how long it will take you). The first is that this enemy, obviously, is not innocuous. He's going to attack you. Thankfully, the attacks are all easy to dodge, so long as you pay careful attention to on-screen prompts that appear right before the enemy is poised to strike. The second thing you should know is that after each successful strike with the laser, the enemy will erupt poisonous snake globules that you'll need to dodge. Better yet, since your targeting rifle needs to recharge after each use, use this opportunity to drop it, toggle to another weapon, and destroy the globes. Then, pick the targeting rifle back up and repeat the process as usual. The third and perhaps most important thing to keep in mind is that you don't necessarily have to stay on the top tier of this area. If you think you can strike the foe more easily from below, then go down and attempt it from there instead. Generally speaking, however, staying on the topmost platform, above where you found the targeting rifle, is the way to go.
